{In a year.}

I read Karen Russell's blog religiously. She is amazing. She blogs about her blended family, photography tips, parenting joys and struggles, fun adventures, parties, the good times and the bad. Currently, she is blogging about raising her family as a single mom while her husband is deployed.

She has inspired me for about 5 years now (and I have never even met her!)

Today she blogged an amazing post about running a triathlon with her sister and best friend... again the good AND the bad...

She posted a philosophy that someone had told her years ago when she was struggling...

Time is inevitably going to pass and one year from today, you can find yourself in the exact same spot you're in now, you can find yourself further away from your goal or you can find yourself closer to your goal - so where do you want to be a year from now?

Whoa.
Stop me in my tracks.

On December 31, 2011, i definitely found myself further away from my goal than i was on January 1, 2011.

Not this year!

Thanks Karen for your always insightful, and inspiring words.
